Meags Fitzgerald

Meags Fitzgerald is in her final year at the Alberta College of Art + Design, and plans to pursue her Masters of Art History. She has been involved with the performing and visual arts in Edmonton, Calgary, and Toronto. In her art practice she addresses personal histories, memory, nostalgia, maternal relationships, and domesticity. Meags also teaches and performs improv theatre across Canada.

Heather Kai Smith

Heather Kai Smith is an emerging artist enrolled in the Alberta College of Art + Design's Drawing Program. By maintaining a continued interest in the medium of drawing, her current work seeks to manifest an indirect nostalgia through bygone imagery. Emphasizing the desire to belong to an imaginary collective, the works attempt to hold on to intangible reveries.

Pamela Norrish

Pamela Norrish is in her final year at Alberta College of Art + Design.  Norrish is a multi-disciplinary artist working in sculpture, drawing, performance and book works.  She is interested in life’s contradictions and attempts to capture these contradictions in her work.  Norrish’s work is highly personal and is typically a romantic, melancholy attempt to capture the fleeting past.  Most days you can find her in her studio, working diligently, or in the library, learning things and day dreaming.

Kiki Barua

Kiki Barua is an emerging artist in her final year as a drawing student at the Alberta College of Art and Design. Her work uses performance, video, soft sculpture/costuming and drawing to question the stability of identity, particularly in relation to gender. She is also a proud member of the Feminist Book Club, a local collective of female artists who work together to foster community and respect.
